:sad: Amazing.

It just occurred to me that I'm the only one belonging to both Alliances.

Yep. You would probably eventually be tangled in the Venice/Falklands rivalry, but since the LFN allows you plenty of freedom, Venice can't really get mad.

I'm positive I missed someone. I almost feel like I missed a few alliances altogether. It was interesting to see the centers of power, LFN in the Mediterranean and the TATO in America.

Representation of the TATO/IPTO is out of date, I think- in the very least, Huesca & Navarra should be added, as should French colonies, nd I believe a couple more member states...

No state current in the region of Georgia is apart of the LFN. Other than that it looks nice.

I think he filled Georgia in instead of Alexanderhaven.

Telo: The Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire as you put it) isn't part of the LFN. It may be allied with certain of its members, but the Roman Empire is its own entity.

EDIT: And I can figure the problem with Georgia. You marked Georgia instead of Alexanderhaven.

But other than those problems, good map.

I'll fix Georgia/Alexanderhaven eventually and take out the Roman Empire.

Ulg, for the sake of my eyesight, don't do that yet...

Tou, the map I used was the last version of your world map. It was a bit outdated, so I just compared it to regional maps.

Heh. I should probably update that world map...
In any case, the French colonies were still on the old update. Those need to be added (one in Canada, one in the Caribbean, one in Africa, and one in Asia).

So, does anyone want an update?

Tou, what happens to the TATO and the other treaties you made? On the map, France's colonies still exist. Did the colonies of France take over France's position in the treaty?

I could work to take the lead if people still want TATO and IPTO around.

I don't think it matters who takes the lead, just I think Tou might still want to control his alliance since he made it.

I've got a question to throw at the mapmakers, but I'll post it elsewhere.

This may sound off-kilter, but it seems like an alliance map isn't really representative of what one may actually find in our world.

Then again, I doubt an all out country-by-country alliance web would be any easier to build.

It would only be the major alliances. By that, I mean the ones that have treaties written out, rather than all the smaller, one on one things like Venice's alliance with the Romans.

But individual alliances, all put together, probably weigh more overall.

It probably wouldn't be easier to build but I agree that it certainly would be more representative. I would like to see a map like this.

That could be the next project after the major alliances. I'm not exactly sure how I would represent it, though. Stripes? The world would look like a rainbow candy cane, wouldn't it?

A map might not the best for that, actually.

I good idea would be to create a diagram. First, select a number of the most internationally significant nations in the world. These should be the nations that are not only active in their regions, but have significant diplomatic ties in multiple regions. Arrange these nations in a ring, with each nation designated by a name (and/or a flag) and any important diplomatic information unique to them.

The nations in the ring should be arranged so that those who are active in similar regions tend to be closer to each other. That not only makes it easier to deal with their own workings, but also with the minor nations we have not dealt with yet. Now, connect the major nations using lines, and either indicate what the line represents (friendship, alliance, trade agreement, etc.) or use a key to identify different colors or thickness in order to allow for at a glance views of international relations.

Finally, address the minor nations. These are the many nations that are not involved in diplomatic arrangements (or not many) outside of their general regions. You can arrange these outside of the ring, near those nations they deal with. They can then be connected with lines as well.

That is a rudimentary sketch as to how you might go about it, which you can further refine as necessary.

As long as it never looks like anything from Cybernations, I'll be happy.

Alright, now that I've figured out how I'm going to do the alliance map, can everyone who is considered the 'leader' of an alliance that spans more that two nations please PM me the following:

Name of the alliance
Alliance abbreviation (if any)
List of members
A copy of the treaty

OR

A link to the treaty on the forums, provided it contains the signatures of all member nations
Alliance abbreviation

~~~~~

As for the more minor alliances, I can already see how it could work, but I'll need the data. If everyone could please PM me a list of nations they are allied with, trading with, or openly hostile with (provided that status won't change anytime soon). Do not include any nations that is in the same alliance you are unless you have had diplomatic relations outside that alliance.

Those of you that want to help out even further can also send me the list for currently absent members if you can recall their diplomatic webs clearly.

:D

I just realized how swamped my inbox is going to be if everyone complies...
